If there's one genre with truly great and memorable music, it has to be the PS1/PS2 era mascot platformers.

This one plays as you battle it out on the highest point of the game, where you can see all the areas you traversed previously. Pretty awesome, even though the boss itself wasn't the most "engaging" so to speak.

Cue the third game, where you get to speed through a bunch of tubes with this on the background. The sections are probably more known for the associated frustration, but since 23-year-old me isn't that troubled by them anymore, there's more time to enjoy the soundtrack. If only they didn't END long before the music does!

But my favorite of all time has to be this. The way it picks up intensity about midway through gives me goosebumps. Can't get much better than a well done fast-paced techno track.

There's so many I could probably talk about, but one that came immediately to mind was actually the original score from Grand Theft Auto V. I remember hearing the snippets during play and wondered if there was somewhere I could download them. To my surprise, I discovered the entire score had been released alongside the soundtrack, which contained a selection of songs used on the in-game radio stations. I've been a long-time fan of DJ Shadow and Tangerine Dream so this was a welcome addition to my collection.
